The day that LocateTV fans have been waiting for is here: the My Picks function has launched. One of our most common pieces of feedback throughout the beta phase has been from people wanting some way to create their own personalised lists of their top searches, so they have a tailor-made custom TV guide at a glance, ensuring that they never need miss an episode of their favourite TV series, or a… read more »

Christmas and TV go together like turkey and stuffing. When you're tired of squabbling families and over-full of food, watching festive movies can be the one way to restore a little peace and good will among men.

So, to take the stress from your scheduling and… read more »

We've received lots of feedback from people such as Mori at the After Ellen blog who have been introduced to LocateTV, love the concept, but would like to see coverage in regions other than the US and UK. One of the most common requests is for Canadian coverage, so as a direct upshot of this feedback we are currently doing a study to look at the logistics of incorporating Canada into LocateTV. Expanding our global coverage has been an ambition from the outset, but presents a number of challenges for us. For each new country we must source the information… read more »
